It is kind of ironic that today I finally decide to get back to posting and it happens to be the day that we read about being in charge. I haven't been in charge for weeks now :(
We love to be in control. We love to push ourselves beyond what we believe to be our limits. It brings a sense of accomplishment, our own little high "look what I just did!!!" We can also get this feeling from biting our tongues when we really want to say something mean and awful (even if its true). When we do things that we know we shouldn't we get a sense of guilt, that certainly isn't an enjoyable adventure. If we do something that we didn't want to, or say something we shouldn't have, we feel bad.
We are not doomed to act according to old negative habits, we can free ourselves from these patterns by deciding to be the "real me". It isn't going to be easy, or instant. When we do or say something negative, remind yourself "that is the old me". Pick yourself back up and do the right thing.
Be the boss today! Do something right! React the way your "real me" wants to react. Stop putting things off. Enjoy the "real you" today!
Once you recognize that part of you is tough, strong, disciplined and focused then we can act as that person. This exercise will empower you to be the person you want to be. Little by little, the more you try, the sooner it will be natural. You will have fewer regrets in life, better interpersonal relationships and a hugely upgraded level of self love!
